This is actually a pretty old 'news' story, too. They've been around for a long time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif)

I don't see why people are freaking out. How many people do you see with pierced ears? Hell, I saw some 55 year old grand mother with booger bling the other day at arbys (( nose piercing)) I am one of the last people I know that does NOT have a tattoo (( and I'm getting one in June. Already on the book. The artist is that in demand)). How are elf ear mods' any different? It's just another thing. Doesn't make them 'Dumb' or 'stupid' other than the people with pierced ears, noses, lips, eyebrows, belly buttons, tongues, penises, labia. ect ect ect. Just different strokes. I say bring on the elf ears. But only on ladies. *nods sagely* I don't need the competition from other guys. lol

Not that I care, but this isn't a piercing. It's an elf-ening. That's different.

Yeah.. One's punching a HOLE through part of your body and sticking a bit of metal through it, a place like an ear.

The other is making a slit at the top of an ear and Throwing a stitch or two into it so it heals in a point.

The difference is very minimal.

Tattooing is taking ink and putting it on a needle and thrusting it into the flesh 100s to 1000s to 10,000s of times.

*shrugs* I don't see a huge difference in terms of level of intensity.

No one said anything about intensity. A piercing isn't an attempt to be more like a mythical race. An elf-ening *is*. I just explained that. What it *is* like is getting vampire teeth, or dyeing your skin (permanently) blue like Avatar, etc.

Naaa it's just body modification. I don't think most of those people are like' YEAH I'm AN ELF! MUAHAHAHHAAH" They're just like "Hey I'd like to do this to my body because I like the way it looks".

Not for nothing, but going 'It's an elf thing' isn't explaining it. Any more than "That guy's got alot of piercings' explains piercings. lol

I think it's pretty clear. There's 'just modification' and there's 'posing'. It's true in the SR setting, and it's true now. They're different. Not better/worse, whatever, but clearly distinct in this sense.

I don't think so at all. I've known some pretty serious body mod people and none of them thought they were a different species. They just do it for personal reasons. They like how it looks. I'm sure there's a few freaks out there that think they're elves born in human bodies, but there's a few people that dress up in furry animal costumes to have sex too. Doesn't mean every person you see in costume is that sort of guy or gal.

None of that is what I said. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I said that posing is distinct from simple ornamentation. I didn't say that everyone with elf ears is posing, or identifies as an elf. Earrings, on the other hand, *can't* be posing; elf-ening can.

Well guys - and here we see the reason why elf poser is in fact a negative quality.
Anyways these people are in fact really intelligent - by taking the negative quality they gain their 10 Karma for it and buy active or knowledge skills.
Dont judge this behavior prematurely.

Flaws taken in game don't give anything and still cost karma to buy off as normal.
Also, Ork-Posers last longer. For the obvious Pun on the Thread title.

Sorry, the first thing I thought of when I read the thread title was premature ejaculation. Mind in the gutter, I guess.

I don't see the big? I've been planning to get my ears tipped for years, soon as I can get over to phoenix, since Stalking Cat's body modder works out of there and I got the recommendation from him. I don't think -anyone- who gets their ears tipped actually wants to be/thinks they're an elf.

Granted I already have three tattoos (one of them is a partial, and will be a full sleeve when its done) and seven piercings, so maybe you have to be into it to understand? ymmv

Stalking Cat is amazing. I wish I'd gotten around to visiting the Whidby Island furry house parties back when he lived there. I'd love to get my ears tipped (for aesthetics; I'm not a big fan of elves, actually), but it sounds like I should wait until it's safer with more reliable results. I don't have the money right now anyway, and I have higher priorities (mostly survival-oriented; this economy is especially hard on people collecting disability).
